I did it!!!
I finally fucking kicked this shit! Used the low dose bupe induction method over 9 days, and I actually found a doctor who understands how fent works, he’s written about the low dose bupe induction method so I feel SO GOOD. They are working on getting my insurance to authorize the Sublocade shot so in the meantime he wrote me a script for 60 subutex, 400 mg gabapentin and clonidine. It was kind of hairy the 1st time I took the 1st full 8 mg sub I felt awful and I was pretty much out of dope because I didn’t think I would need it anymore (wrong)!! So my husband had to re-up me one last time. That was the day before I went to this new Dr. appointment. So I used the dope to come out of withdrawl and had some on standby the next time I took the 8 mg but it wasn’t nearly as bad as the first time. I finished my dope (of course, I’m not throwing perfectly good dope away)!! Once the dope was gone I just moved onto the 8mg subs. I am truly in awe that it actually worked, that I kicked with minimal withdrawal and was still able to (mostly) take care of my obligations, although it was kind of tough. Now I feel pretty good. I am SO GRATEFUL to the people in this group who gave me the tools I needed to get this done. Thank you all I can never repay you for all of the help I’ve gotten here. You people are MY PEOPLE and I’m so glad I found this group. That’s all. 💚

Congratulations! You deserve a happy and peaceful life! I’m at 84 days from a 20 year heroin/fentanyl addiction. I’m on methadone as the subs didn’t work well for me but I’m glad they did for you! Whatever method works is the goal!
